And Walter White has it. Bryan Cranston just won his first Golden Globe.

Cranston receives the honor for playing Walter White, the teacher-turned-meth manufacturer at the center of the acclaimed drama "Breaking Bad."

This was Cranston's fifth Golden Globe nomination. A four-time nominee for his role as White, Cranston's first Golden Globe nod came in 2003 for his turn as Hal, the father in "Malcolm in the Middle." (The series DVD offers a lighthearted "alternate ending" to "Breaking Bad" — a "Newhart" joke in which Hal wakes up to a vicious nightmare in which Walter White was just a dream).

"Breaking Bad," created by Vince Gilligan, ended its run on AMC in September, after five seasons, its last split into two parts, over two years. In September, Cranston was also up for an Emmy in the lead drama actor category, but did not win. "Breaking Bad," however, took home its first Emmy for best drama series. So did Cranston's co-star Anna Gunn (outstanding supporting actress in a drama series), who played Walter's wife, Skyler. Cranston previously won three consecutive lead actor Emmys for "Breaking Bad," in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
